Take Another Little Piece of My Art

Glenn Otis Brown, July 17th, 2003

A museum exhibit called “Illegal Art” might sound like a history of naughty pictures. Turns out that the exhibit (through July 25 at SF MOMA Artist’s Gallery) is more innocuous than most primetime TV: A Mickey Mouse gasmask. Pez candy dispensers honoring fallen hip-hop stars. A litigious Little Mermaid. Not kids’ stuff, exactly—but illegal?

Creative Commons’ Derek Slater has a nice review of the Illegal Art exhibit, which ends its stay at the SF MOMA later this month, plus some insight into surrounding issues.
